A man has been arrested in Brookhaven, Mississippi in the United States after making threats to assassinate president-elect Barack Obama on his January 20 inauguration, the US Department of Justice says.
Steven Joseph Christopher, who is from Wisconsin, was arrested by the US Secret Service, with the assistance of local law enforcement.
Threatening to kill the US president-elect is an offense that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $US250,000 fine.
"I have decided I will assassinate Barack Obama. It's really nothing personal about the man ... But I know it's for the country's own good that I do this," Christopher wrote in a posting on the website www.alien-earth.org on January 11, according to the affidavit filed by the Secret Service.
"It's not because I'm racist that I will kill Barack, it's because I can no longer allow the Jewish parasites to bully their way into making the American people submit to their evil ways."
He pointed to Jewish appointees for Mr Obama's future administration and accused Jews of contriving the September 11, 2001 attacks.
